‘Let me give you a reality check, Senator!’: Rubio clashes with Kaine at heated Venezuela hearing

Secretary of State Marco Rubio clashed with Senator Tim Kaine during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing over the Trump administration’s controversial military actions in the Caribbean and Venezuela. Kaine criticised the administration for blocking the release of legal reasoning and evidence behind U.S. military strikes and the raid that led to former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s capture. Rubio defended the operations as targeted and lawful, insisting the U.S. is not at war with Venezuela and that there are no U.S. troops on the ground.
